My friend and I are opening up a naturally built spa & wellness area. Speakeasy NYE style meets the secret garden. We are both single moms who’ve lived in survival mode are whole life’s. We just want to do what we love, be with our kids, and adventure. We are not looking to get rich but upper middle class enough to invest back into our community in a decent way. Any folks out there who run business’ as a way to invest in building their beautiful slow/mundane life? I do not work well in the man’s world. It goes against my intuition. Though I haven’t found a good road map to any other options. Thanks in advanced! xx
“Speakeasy NYE style meets the secret garden.”
You need to determine if this value proposition solves a unique problem and does it have great value.
First, what leads you to believe there is unmet demand for naturally built spa & wellness area.
Second, will this demand generate enough sales to sustain the business?
After all, even if “naturally built,” a business needs a certain amount of resources to reach a commercially viable state.
This may include funds to establish form business identity, inventory (robes, towels, lotions, etc.), furniture, and equipment (?).
Are you leasing land and building or purchasing land and constructing a building?
If outdoor venue, what are you going to function during bad weather?
All of the above is referred to as due diligence and has nothing to do whatsoever if you are a woman or man.
“I do not work well in the man’s world.
Business isn’t personal, its business.
So, you have to learn how to work well in the business world if you want to be in business.
My local chamber of commerce has a “women in business” group. If you can find something like that near you, you will probably find a lot of value in it. When I go to regular chamber events it seems like about half of the people there are women. Maybe I’m a bit biased, but I really don’t see it as a man’s world in that sense. There are many examples of women in my circle that have built their own business and have succeeded.
Some of my clients are women-owned businesses or franchises. I always thought that “business” itself expanded the scope of any type of gender-specific emotions or prejudices. Business is business and it’s impartial. If you’re a man leaning on the wrong values, you’re probably going to fail in most of your business partnerships. The same goes for women. It’s great to look deep inside yourself and try to escape your mundane life. But to be a successful business owner, you have to do what’s best for the business. Gender often doesn’t even become a topic or an underlying factor
